An entrepreneurial, founder-led property business with a long-standing track record across London residential investment and development is looking to appoint an Acquisitions Director to help drive the next phase of growth into operator-led real estate.
Historically focused on high-value residential opportunities across prime London, the business has built a reputation for identifying value early, securing planning and repositioning opportunities, and moving decisively on deals. They are now expanding further into operator-led and alternative-use strategies, targeting opportunities where operational and commercial value can be combined creatively.
The successful individual will take ownership of sourcing and executing acquisitions across a broad range of operator-led opportunities. This could include under-utilised commercial assets, mixed-use repositioning projects, education and nursery-led opportunities, retail, leisure, care homes or operator-backed real estate, and buildings where value can be unlocked through change of use, tenancy strategy or creative structuring.
This role would suit someone from an acquisitions or agency background, or an entrepreneurial commercial/property environment where relationships and deal origination are central to success. The business is intentionally lean, agile and non-corporate. In return, the role offers significant autonomy, direct access to decision-makers and meaningful financial upside through a highly performance-led structure. The founder is flexible on package and is prepared to pay competitively for the right individual, with longer-term participation also possible for exceptional performers.
